I'm not the setting or rising One,
Not trying to be the loony romantic either,
I'm at the saddle point of Time,
Where the arrow turns hysterically confused,
No #travel, no rest, no circumcatalysts,
I'm free of resolutions and hope, cursèd, in limbo.

The gathering was informed that the #sole beneficiary of Mutheychan’s wealth is Revathy.
Someone wailed, "Ayyo, Ammava…what will I do without…?"
Revathy stared at the disappearing back of her husband with cold determined eyes.

"Men/women from #Mars/Venus???
Goddamn! Who's from Earth?"

“You shouldn’t have booed. It’s a seminar.”
“It’s crap.”
“Is that based on your wishful estimate of self-worth?”
“Safe-haven today, sub-prime tomorrow. What a fart of hot #air! That too about gold. Sacrilege!”
“The speaker says the inflated price is because everyone’s buying. What’s the price when big countries sell their reserves? Who will buy? The next big short? Worth a thought, I think.”

Every #struggle and every change has its roots in some juvenile but logical thought which gained respectability only much later, sometimes never.
What is the Juvenile Manifesto of the youth of today?
I am too old to be young but I am young enough to be juvenile.
Even if it is a fool who starts a discussion, the discussion need not be foolish. So, let me voice some of my juvenile thoughts while I wait for the young to rise.

“I need to ask you something and you have to promise that you will tell me the truth," she said, 30 years back.
“#Shoot.”
“I know what you have been up to.”
“Is that the question?”
“Are you in love with me?” she asked.
“No,” I lied.
Truth is over-rated.

"2 years back, a couple had a problem here."
"What happened?"
"Charged with obscenity in the open."
"Who caught them here?"
"Jealous fools."
"Ah."
"Do you want to get caught, Mrs.?"
"Ready if you are, Mr."
They stripped, #jump-ed in and swam in the cold, clear water.

Astrologer says:
"You suffer the rare lifelong Kantaka Shani when #Saturn transits the 4th/7th/10th house from your birth Moon sign."
Translation for layperson:
"All your life, you will be like the one-handed man hanging from a cliff wanting to scratch his balls."

(Apologies to my dear #vss365 friends for my absence. If I wait for a sick society to give a regular supply of water, I will never write. I thank you for your support, best wishes and kind words. Truly mean it.)
Fourth day without water supply.
Unable to participate in #vss365 due to the mental and physical turmoil.
Sorry.

#Kerala might be #GodsOwnCountry.
But, the gods here aren't bothered about #CasteDiscrimination.
The gods here won't give the basic human right- #Water - to all!

If one doesn't belong to the majority in an area, one ceases to exist.
#Vanchiyoor in #Trivandrum is hell for this backward caste family.

Dr.: Do you #regret it's over?
Me: Doc, it was over before I married.
Dr.: It's natural for your wife to feel a bit jittery, no?
Me: For her, not even a memory should exist.
Dr.: It won’t hurt anyone, will it...if you erase that part?
Me: You sound like her, doc.

After 20 years, she got this letter:
"My dear daughter, I have been to a doctor. It seems I am losing my #memory. I would like to meet you. Could you please come to this address? Your loving Appa."

Tried a #boho life.
Love, needs and desires changed that.
The end: a bozo.

Today evening, I was with a group of old schoolmates.
Escaped, after 30 minutes, from the #monotonous talk of company that's better off without me.
The silence of loneliness is not better but I am fine with the company of ghosts that say dead-n-dead-n...

Way back in Jan 2026, we had the #apogee of existential angst of teenagers.
Banned from social media, they roamed like zombies.
That coincided with the start of the In-flu serial killer pandemic.
Someone or something killed influencers. Even those with 100 followers.
#vss365
How many times have I killed myself?
Not to be a memory lost,
Not to have a #successor,
Not to fear loss,
Not to feel love,
Not even a question.
It's lonely in one's grave,
With the company
Of all those me's,
Including the one who knew you
When time meant something.

"In my dreams, I see her with me."
"Who?"
"My first love. My only love."
"Weren't you two kids then?"
"So?"
"Do you see her as a kid in your dreams?"
"Of course."
"In your dreams, are you the kid you were or the dirty old man you are?"
"Dreams can't be #illicit."

Love letters without that word,
Forbidden affair that was open,
A climax before the play began,
A postprandial fantasy
We thought we would share
With kids and grandkids,
But that was before the whisper
Of tender care became the #augury
Of a night that is endless.

You look #chic, she said,
What do you want, chick, I growled.
Her left hook said rest.
